Fontainebleau Palace & Barbizon Artists Village Small Group(2-4)

About this activity

There’s more to France than legends dare to unveil. Get used to this royal feeling as you’ll visit Château de Fontainebleau is one of the most visited areas and one of the largest French royal châteaux. It has everything that a tourist needs; a touch of history, a touch of art and a lot of other things that are ready to be discovered. The Palace dates from the medieval age and served as a royal residence for the French kings. Now it is a museum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Barbizon is the charming village that became the birthplace of the Barbizon School, where artists gathered in the 19th century to paint nature directly from life. Nestled at the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau, its quiet streets, galleries, and historic studios still preserve the spirit of the painters who transformed landscape art.
